My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 288 - 280: Enemies_2

Lu Xize glanced at her sideways, acting all smug, and chuckled lightly: "Tsk, you’re suddenly so concerned about me, I’m not really used to it. But, speaking of which, I did save your life today, and I ended up like this. So, what are you going to do to repay me?""Give you some sunshine, and you shine brightly, huh? Give you a little sweetness, and you don’t even know who you are anymore, right?" Yun Xi snorted arrogantly, glared at him in anger, and slapped his arm a few times half-heartedly.

"Ow, pain, pain, pain, showing your true colors now, huh? Just now like a scared little rabbit, and now a fierce mother tiger. When Yang Yue was pulling your hair, why didn’t you act so ferocious towards him? You only know how to take it out on me."

Yun Xi was speechless, unable to reply. That Yang Yue was inherently ruthless and shameless. As a girl, how could she possibly stand up to him?

"Tell me the address, I’ll take you home."

"No, let’s go to the hospital first! You really should get that injury on your face checked out. If there are any future repercussions or something, I’m not taking responsibility."

"Hey! You’re really clueless."

Yun Xi pursed her lips, a trace of awkwardness crossed her face: "Stop talking nonsense, can you do it? If not, I’ll drive! Are you sure your injuries aren’t serious?" Saying that, she paused for a moment, then added another sentence fearing he’d misunderstand: "I don’t want the car to crash and die soon, I want to live for decades more!"

"If you can’t speak properly, just shut up, okay? Really..." Lu Xize was boiling with anger from her words, but before he finished speaking, Yun Xi had already gotten out of the car. He shouted reflexively: "Hey, Yun Xi, where are you going? Get back here, babe."

But Yun Xi didn’t pay him any attention. She circled to the driver’s side, opened the car door, turned her body sideways, and commanded him: "Get down, I’ll drive."

"I can manage..."

"You can manage nothing, get down, hurry up, don’t make me use force!"

"..."

Lu Xize looked at her with a sense of resignation, pursed his lips with restraint, angrily unbuckled the seat belt, and pulled at his shoulder causing him to gasp in pain. Yun Xi noticed, a hint of concern flashed across her face, but the words from her mouth turned into sharp remarks: "See! Still pretending to be strong, get down immediately, I’ll drive. I don’t want to die, especially not with you."

"Tch, as if I want to die with you. Even if you begged me, I wouldn’t be glad, okay?" Lu Xize snorted nonchalantly, got out of the car, shot her a disdainful glance, and went to sit in the passenger seat.

Hearing his words, Yun Xi fumed more than usual, angrily got in, swept her hair to the back, took a deep breath, and stared ahead with a cold expression, starting the car towards the hospital.

Throughout the journey, Yun Xi kept her face drooped, showing no intention of talking to him. Lu Xize leaned back against the seat, finding her sudden silence unnerving, lightly coughed twice: "Uh, uh... ahem... um...". But despite thinking for a while, he couldn’t find words to break the silence.

When Yun Xi heard his voice, she turned her head to glance at him, but seeing him drag on without saying anything, she rolled her eyes and withdrew her gaze in disdain.

"Why suddenly stop talking?"

"What do you want me to say? Whatever I say, you don’t like listening to."

"..."

Lu Xize was at a loss for words. He realized he had a tendency to court trouble, knowing full well that whatever she said would likely be biting, yet he couldn’t help but endure the scolding. If that’s not asking for it, what is?

When they arrived at the hospital, Yun Xi actively helped him register, but just as she was about to be called, she suddenly realized she hadn’t brought her phone, left her bag in the locker, and didn’t have any cash on her, feeling somewhat awkward. She smiled gently at the woman queuing behind her, left the line, and walked over to Lu Xize, who was waiting on the bench.

Lu Xize looked at the high heels stopping in front of him, paused, slowly raised his head, noticing her unnatural and slightly embarrassed expression, asking with confusion: "What’s up?"

"Um... do you... uh... do you have cash on you?" Yun Xi lowered her head, fingers tugging at the hem of her dress, hesitantly speaking, her voice growing quieter with each word, as soft as a mosquito’s hum, seemingly unable to be any quieter.

"Huh? What did you say, speak up." Lu Xize genuinely didn’t hear, he wasn’t pretending.
